HOkay,
I have MDK10, and I have no idea how to install UT2k4 demo, I apparently downloaded something from the ut website, when unzipped, its some run file. So, If u guyz could tell me from where to get the demo and how to properly install it, that would be cool/
kaio
Full Version: help with stuff and more stuff
that .run files you downloaded, do this as root...
chmod a+x file.run
./file.run
ofcourse, replace "file" with the filename
chmod a+x file.run
./file.run
ofcourse, replace "file" with the filename
well did what you said, looked like it was going good, but when I type "ut2004demo" the splash comes up , and then disappeaars and nothing happens.
found an error:
something about now finding glx visual mode... HELP!

what video card do you have?
ati 9600pro
did you install the ati drivers (from their site) and do you have:
in your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file? (make sure it's not commented out w/a #)
CODE
Load "glx"
in your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file? (make sure it's not commented out w/a #)
I did not install from site, MDK 10 took care of that
glx is not commented out
I did download drivers from ATI when I was using 9.0, but it was scary setting it up, and messed with xwindow for some time. DO not want to go through that experience.
run "glxgears" from a terminal, post any results please 
Here ya go.. and thats really cool!
In a terminal window do:
glxinfo | grep rendering
If it is yes you have accelerated rendering if no you don't
From your previous post i would say you almost certainly don't.

where it says "restart x" the easiest way is to press ctrl+alt+backspace - make sure you've closed most programs before you do it though.

ok, when I try to
in the directory it tells me, as su, i get permission denied....
UGH~!
CODE
./make.sh

UGH~!
do:
then try installing the rpm again
CODE
urpmi kernel-source
then try installing the rpm again
yeah i guess I have to do sometihng like that, becuase,. well I went to this site
http://www.ati.com/support/infobase/4484.html, and that sh command worked as su, but then I got an error message

ok, I got the source code stuff in it, and then redid the installing of the driver RPM, I think it rebuilt the kernel by itself
so I went through flgrxconfig, and then.. ut2004demo, and then... same problem.
I think the base route of the problem is this
CODE
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
dude, am I screwed?
